ST. LOUIS -- The Stars are getting closer.
Unfortunately, that doesn't get you much in the NHL.
Dallas played the two Stanley Cup finalists in the first two games of the season and lost one-goal games to each. In a 3-2 defeat at the hands of the St. Louis Blues Saturday, Dallas had a goal disallowed on an offside review and saw the winning goal scored on an odd deflection, so it would have been easy to shrug off the loss.
